I have a pre-sale question. My client currently sells spices, powders and red & green chile. The powders and spices are shipped via flat rate boxes. Some of the spices are 5oz, 8oz and 1oz. Therefore, you can fit a myriad of combination in the small, medium and large flat rate boxes.
For example, a small flat rate box can fit four 5oz packages of spices, but if the user orders five of these items, the price would be bumped up to the medium size box.
Is this possible with the plugin? What would be the best way to do this?
Well you cannot really set it up based on box, persay, but you could try to estimate it based on total ounces ordered. It would be simply to list a price based on how many of each size they ordered. The problem I see would come if they purchased 2 5oz and 1 8oz, it would charge them for each type, i.e. two small boxes. The only way I see this possible would be to use the combined number of ounces to estimate the cost.
Would it be better to use table rate shipping or simply charge a certain $ amount per ounce?
I’m sorry, I was thinking of the Table Rate plugin when I answered this question. The cart based plugin is much more simplistic and could only work based on total amounts of price, quantity, and weight. But even if you went with the Table Rate method, you would have more options, but I’m still not sure that you could do exactly what you’re looking for. I do know that per package methods exist out there, but I’m not sure how they work or if it is right for you. Either way, with my plugins, I think the only real option is to base it on total ounces.
Hello,
Everything works great, however I would like to remove the text “Shipping:” that comes in front of the cost. If I change the method title to be a space, it still leaves a colon printing in front of the cost. Is it possible to remove it?
Thank you!
I’m afraid not without modifying WooCommerce itself. This is a common complaint however I have yet to see them take any steps towards making it optional.
How can we change the default text when someone is over the ‘weight limit’ from saying: “Please fill in your details to see available shipping methods.”
Thanks!
This is done through templating. You will need to copy over the cart and checkout files to your theme (if they are not there already), and then modify them there. Your theme has probably copied them over already, but if not here is a link to do so:
http://docs.woothemes.com/document/template-structure/Hi, I have the following requirements. Can you plugin provide a shipping option like this: ”$10 to all items under 20kg. Bulk buy 50 pieces or more will be free. “
Not exactly. You can only choose one method of comparison with this plugin, so either weight or number of items purchased. If you need to mix in a couple, then I would recommend looking at another of my shipping methods:
http://codecanyon.net/item/table-rate-shipping-for-woocommerce/3796656I have working on a site that has an English & Spanish version. Duplicate content, different wordpress installs. Do I need to buy two copies? Thanks…
No I do not believe you have to. So long as the sites are identical and operating the same server you should be within the licensing rules. Thank you for asking though 
My compliments!
Thank you I’m glad you like the plugin!
Hello,
I have just purchased your plugin, however after installing (trying both via WP and FTP), network activating it, I still don’t see the Cart Based Options under Shipping in WooCommerce. I have a multisite install. Is there something i am doing work?
Thanks!
There may be a problem with the way you have it installed. Unfortunately, I have not been able to figure out why it does this, but if you network enable woocommerce it cannot recognize my plugins. If you network disable woocommerce, and then enable it under each individual site, it works just fine. Furthermore, you can network enable this plugin and it will work fine so long as woocommerce is activated individually. I do not understand why it should run any differently, but since I have not figured it out yet I may need to contact WooThemes and see if they can give me a hint. I apologize for the inconvenience. If I learn anything new I will be sure to respond here.
Hi, pre purchase question,
i would like to make an offer on my website; “free shipping on any orders above £90, anything less will be £10”, would it be possible with this plugin.
thanks,
Definitely! The table can hold two rows, one for each of these rates. You would just say starting at 0, shipping is £10 and starting at 90, shipping is £0
Pre-Purchase Question:
I have a question about this plugin before I proceed in purchasing it. Currently, I am building a site for a Chile Farming company that ships Green and Red Chile nationally. They also sell chile ristras, powders, spices etc. Since they are shipping fresh green and red chile, they have to use overnight shipping. Currently, they have the shipping cost built into the fresh chile products, therefore the shipping is “free” for that product.
Is it possible to set ONLY the fresh chile items as free shipping while the others base it upon weight?
I.E.
Customer buys 1 chile spice packet (5 oz) and 10 lbs of fresh chile (shipping included). Could the shipping charge only be applied to the first product?
Absolutely! You will just need to use a shipping class for the fresh products with the shipping included, and then in your settings check the box marked ‘Exclude’ so that items with this shipping class will not count towards the overall shipping cost.
Hi,
good plugin, but i have a question, can i tax also the shipping cost?
For example, a product price is 81,97 €(excl. VAT),so 100€ (incl. VAT) (VAT = 22% or 4% or 10%). The shipping cost is 6,50 € (under 20kg) but EXCLUDING VAT, can it calculate the shipping price with VAT?
I must have the written ” shipping cost: 6,50 € (+ VAT) ” and at the end it have to calculate the prices also adding VAT.
I hope that I clearly,
Thank you,
best regards,
Elisa
Taxing is not done through this plugin, so you can either write the prices in including tax, or you can check the box to tax shipping in your tax settings. When you are under the settings for a specific tax rate, there is an option there as to whether or not you want to tax the shipping.
I found it! Thank you so much!
Hello, i want to output the price in decimal format. what have i to do?
Price formats throughout your WooCommerce site are controlled by WooCommerce itself. You will need to visit the General tab of your Settings page in order to set the formatting for numbers.
you’re right. thanks. i see that woocommerce removed the setting for trailing zeros but i know it will be fixed in 2.1.3
Hi just bought this plugin.. as soon as I press settings I get “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” I am the only administrator of the website… could you help me please ? thanks
Is the link you used the one on the plugins page under the title of this plugin? It would seem I have forgotten to update this. To find the settings page, just visit the shipping tab of your WooCommerce settings page. You should find the Cart Based option added to your list of available shipping methods.

Pre-Sales Question:
I need to set a minimum shipping price with added cost if it exceeds a certain weight. My minimum shipping cost will be $7.50. For ever pound in the cart over 5 pounds, the customer needs to be charge $1.00.
A detailed example: Order of 1 lb. : $7.50 Order of 2 lbs. : $7.50 Order of 4.9 lbs. : $7.50 Order of 5 lbs. : $7.50 Order of 5.01 lbs: $8.50 Order of 5.5 lbs: $8.50 Order of 5.9 lbs : $8.50 Order of 6 lbs : $8.50 Order of 6.01 lbs : $9.50 ..and so on.
Can I achieve this objective with this plugin?
Yes, this plugin should be able to handle that, you will just need to create however many rows are needed to ensure that the customer’s order will qualify no matter how much they buy.
Pre-Sales Question:
My client wants to base shipping by class using flat rate shipping… So, for example a bedding sheet is set to $5.50, so I have a shipping class called “bedding sheets” that is set to the flat rate $5.50.. The problem is I need to be able to do this by quantity as well. If someone orders one crib sheet it would be $5.50, but if they order 2 or more it would bump up to $12 shipping, and so on the more they purchase. Is your plugin able to do quantity while letting me still do the flat rate shipping with set classes?
Thanks, Kelly
Not this plugin, it is very basic for the most simplest shipping models, but I do have one that will be able to handle to this:
http://codecanyon.net/item/table-rate-shipping-for-woocommerce/discussion/3796656How to remove the shipping tax??? I uncheck the shipping tax included
It still taxing the shipping
Please help
Taxing is done through WooCommerce, not this plugin. Likely you have checked the ‘Shipping’ box under your tax settings. The tax setting in this plugin just determines whether it uses the pre-tax amounts or post-tax.
Pre sales question:
2. Can this help me set a shipping charge like below?- Over $100 – is free
- $51 – $99 – is $15
- $50 and below – is $8
Yes, definitely. I also left you a more detailed answer to your question on a different product:
http://codecanyon.net/item/table-rate-shipping-for-woocommerce/3796656/comments?#comment_5808988bought it. will let you know if I need help. So far, It worked for me
I notice that if the shipping price is $0.00 that the plugin adds “(Free)” to the name on the cart page. Could an option please be added to turn this off?
I’m afraid not. This is a WooCommerce thing. The only way to change it is to modify the cart templates included with WooCommerce.
http://docs.woothemes.com/document/template-structure/Hi everybody – can you help me with this question:
I use number of items as my shipping method and that works good for one country – in my case germany. But I want different prices for national and international. Is that possible with this plugin or is there another plugin that could solve that problem? I am glad for any help 
It is possible with this plugin and a bit of work. I had forgotten to include it in the downloadable product, but there is a shortcut file I created to run multiple instances of this plugin. So you would need to use one for each area, in this case you would need 3 it sounds. If you would like to learn more, please send me a message through my profile to initiate an email conversation and we can from there.
If you want to be able to manage everything from one plugin, then I would recommend taking a look at my Table Rate Shipping plugin
http://codecanyon.net/item/table-rate-shipping-for-woocommerce/discussion/3796656Hey, I just bought your plugin, but I am not sure it can do what I need it to do. My client wants flat rate shipping based on price. For example
Orders under $40 – 11.75 Orders $41-$175 – 14.75 Orders over $175 – Free
If you could please help me figure this out I would greatly appreciate it
This plugin should be able to help you here. The best thing to do is ignore the additional settings like ‘Minimum Shipping Price’ and skip right down to the table. You will need 3 rows here, one for each possible shipping rate.
The first row will have ‘Orders Equal to and Above’ set to 0 with a cost of 11.75. The second row will have 40 with a cost of 14.75, and then the final row equal to 175 with a cost of 0. This should give you the results you’re looking for.
Oh thank you sooo much, you are a lifesaver
Tried to reply on this one http://bolderelements.net/support/topic/weight-based-rates-not-playing-nice/ Got an error “Could not open socket”
So I reply here: Cheers! All is peachy now, except for the translations, as you mentioned. Is there a way to fix that?
Excellent! Yes I am still experiencing issues with the server the website is hosted through but thank you for letting me know. I do not know about the translations, are you using a third party translator? I know there are also plugins that allow you to modify the translated files if you find something is inaccurate, but the translation itself isn’t done through this plugin. I do not have any language files presently for this plugin.
Thanks. It’s all good.
